Today $BR directly pulled up by 10.3%. In a situation like this, you’d normally be happy. But when I came across Leandra Leal’s words, I couldn’t quite laugh it off. What she said really made the hair on my neck stand up. I stopped and thought seriously about it: in Brazil, there are really more “bad people” than you’d imagine. The most outrageous part to me is that even though everyone knows a person is corrupt and takes bribes, and is tangled in scandal—his foundation was rotten long before—there are still people who vote for him. In my view, that behavior is no different in essence from that rotten person himself. If you vote for him, you’re endorsing him; you’re helping him join in making this society disgusting. $BR being up is a fact, but markets are one thing—people’s moral compass can’t be bent with the market. This rise today is like a shot of adrenaline for the market, but what keeps circling in my head is that line again: how many people in this country are still pretending they don’t understand, even while they do? Charge in when there’s good news, and when you see a rotten person, just act like you didn’t notice—this move really has me impressed. $BR closed strong and impressive, but some things can’t be washed clean by a single bullish candle.
